First Grade. We have had perfect attendance so far this week and hope it will continue. We are learning about Columbus discovering our country, America, by listening to stories and learning songs. We will make a picture for Columbus Day. We have some very pretty bittersweet in our room. Tuesday we experienced our first indoor recess because of Tainy weather and we are learning some new “rainy day” songs. Second Grade News. Through an error, Mrs. Leonard Barnhart’s name was left out of our list of visiting mothers last week. Thanks, Jack Clark, for the primrose. We hope it blooms for us. We are working on the use of capital letters in language. Our sand tab,le shotfs the voyage of Columbus. Ralph Bushong and Jack and Robert Dean brought ships to serve as the Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina. We have cut these ships as a border for the black board. Donna Blakesly, Ruth Houser, Marilyn Gawthrop, Virginia Ringler, Nancy Halsey and Jack Lee Duling read stories for us at story time. We are continuing our food and harvest unit. Fruit posters were made as an art lesson this week. Third Grade. Joanne Hoke was absent Tuesday. 'She has been absent one other day this month and these are the only absences the third grade has had this month. We want to thank all the people who helped in any way to make our farm look as nice as it does. Since last week it has improved quite a bit. We have a red barn, with animals to go with it. The children did all of the coloring. After we had it finished, everyone made a barn of his Own out of a shoebox.

J<>e Hughes was called upon to name the city. He jumped up and promptly said, “Syracuse.” Joe thought because is was the best city it should also be the capital.

The class was asked to name what they thought were the three most important steps toward ’iviiization. After much discussion they finally decided that so far as they were concerned the three most important steps were ,1) the art of making and using fire, (2) the development of the idea of family relationship or brotherhood, and (3) learning the fine art of cooperation. They reached the conclusion that with the development of these three steps, ail other steps would naturally follow. There were four absences in our class last week. We have noticed that those who are absent the most are the ones who can ’he least afford to miss. Seventh Grade. The softball games that have been taking place at noon are over. Mr. Beck’s .team, the Cubs, finished in first place; Mr. Gustafson’s team, the Giants, finished in second; Mr. Barnhart’s Yankees were third, and Mr. Byer’s Cardinals were fourth. Congratulations! You all did a fine job. Mr. Fidler also did a fine job as umpire. We are all very sorry that Jeanne, Sarver has moved to Michigan City. We all miss her very much. We have been studying the religious life of the colonists in history and had a very interesting debate on whether the early Colonists were more religious than we are today. Th© captains of the teams were Margaret Miles and Laddie Laughlin. Both teams had very good arguments, but Margaret’s side, the negative, won the debate. *. . • a • - #-• . . 4 Freshman News.

The freshman girls beat the sophomore girls Friday in softball. The freshmen will play the juniors Monday. A new pupil, Mary Ellen Vance, entered our class Monday morning. Evelyn Sawyer was absent Monday and Tuesday. Sophomore News. Embarrassing note:—The sophomore girls played the freshman girls in a game of softball and got beat (?) to (?). ‘Slabaugh is my teacher, I shall not pass; he maketh me to make dense propositions; he leadeth me to expose my ignorance before the class; he maketh me to make figures on the board for my name sake; yea, tho’ I study ’till midnight, I shall gain no geome-i try for propositions bother me, and originals sorely puzzle me; he prepareth puzzles for aie in the presence of mine enemies; he giveth me a low grade and my work runneth under; surely zeroes and conditions will follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the geometry class forever. Junior Class News. Quite a few of our boys have gone out for basketball this year and have handed in their doctor’s permits. We’ll all be glad when the season opens. On Monday noon, the girls played the plucky freshman Jiris. I CAN’T IMAGINE: The Junior class not having a good time . . . Lois Davis making all “x’s” . . . Galyon Good wearing a 5 1-2 shoe . . .
